Maintenance of Certification - Self Assessment Modules (SAMs)

Many AAPM members now require Maintenance of Certification (MOC)
as defined by the American Board of Radiology (ABR). At least 75 continuing education (CE) credits are required every 3 years. CE credits may be met by a combination of Category 1 credits (CAMPEP or ACCME)and self-directed educational projects (SDEPs). At least 25 of the 75 CE credits must be self-assessment CE (SA-CE). Other than ABR prequalified SAMs and SDEPs, the ABR will count all AMA Category 1 CME activities in “enduring materials” (including webbased and print) and “journal-based CME” formats toward the MOC self-assessment requirement. SAMS are not required, but can be used to meet the (SA-CE) requirements. Information regarding the MOC requirments can be found at What is MOC.

ABR approved SAMs are now available and accessible to individuals registered in the
AAPM Online Learning Center: The Online Learning Center runs on a calendar year. The annual fee is $75.
